Package: grub
Version: 2.06-13+deb12u1
Hello.
The file /usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh
points to nonexisting image:
WALLPAPER=/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png
After installation of Devuan 5.0 Dedalus I have packages:
ii grub-common 2.06-13+deb12u1
amd64 GRand Unified Bootloader (common
files)
ii grub-efi-amd64 2.06-13+deb12u1
amd64 GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2
(EFI-AMD64 version)
ii grub-efi-amd64-bin 2.06-13+deb12u1
amd64 GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2
(EFI-AMD64 modules)
ii grub-efi-amd64-signed 1+2.06+13+deb12u1
amd64 GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2
(amd64 UEFI signed by Debian)
ii grub2-common 2.06-13+deb12u1
amd64 GRand Unified Bootloader (common files
for version 2)
And the image is not present in them.
As a result the menu has blue not transparent background.
With Best Regards,
Jerzy

/usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh is in the desktop-base package. That
appears to be where the fix should be applied. So reassigning.

Message #19 received at 845@bugs.devuan.org (full text, mbox, reply):
desktop-base appears to be working correctly for me. I'm not clear on what
is meant by "blue background" vs. "transparent background". The grub bg
for desktop-base in daedalus is blue. The grub boot screen without any
splash has a blue box.
Here's the grub screen with desktop-base:

Here's what the default grub screen looks like (or it might say devuan
instead of debian). You might get this if desktop-base is not installed or
if your root partition is encrypted and grub can't access the desktop-base
files.

To use the grub theme with an encrypted root:
